The wiki thing doesn't make them sound that appealing, but I can imagine there's nothing like mum's homeade hush puppies. The only thing I can compare it with would be my mum's salmon puffs - in terms of the appeal not being readily obvious.It's now on my to do list for when I hit the south.

I think it only fair to point out that I quite liked Staunton and its inhabitants, and the incident which occured on the James was nowhere near Staunton, as Staunton isn't on the James River.

I also dig the Statler Brothers (I'm not kidding about that by the way) and mentioned the connection because it's law in Virginia that when you mention Staunton, you have to mention the Statler Brothers in the same breath.

I am kidding about that bit.

I'm sorry if I came across as making fun of the whole region... I live only 90 minutes from that part of the state and quite like it. My only intention was to make fun of that one particular guy. And it's Virginia... one finds rednecks here and refers to them quite often (although generally in English) as they're indigenous to the area.

Here in Richmond, we often have to hear a lot of condescending bullshit from people in Nothern Virginia, so we try to avoid spreading the ridiculous generalizations of idiocy to entire regions of the state.

Again, I apologize if this was misconstrued. I can see how it would be easy to think I was being deprecating.

Sucker! Operation Benj is complete. Just how many PMs did you get? You are not so clever now, are you?

Seems there were some skills the Governor didn't immerse you in Benji.

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts
